Deep Dive
1. Technical Rebound (Neutral Impact)
Overview:
Blum’s 7-day RSI hit 23.5 (oversold threshold: ≤30) as of 9 Sept 2025, signaling potential exhaustion of selling pressure. Prices stabilized near the $0.0289 Fibonacci support level (78.6% retracement at $0.038262).
What this means:
Traders often interpret oversold RSI as a contrarian entry signal, especially when aligned with key support zones. However, bearish MACD momentum (-0.00061756 histogram) and a 50% 30-day price drop (-50.41%) suggest skepticism about sustained recovery.
What to look out for:
A close above the 7-day SMA ($0.0297) could signal short-term bullish reversal.
2. Exchange Listings & Liquidity (Bullish Impact)
Overview:
Binance Alpha added $BLUM trading pairs on 28 August 2025, joining KuCoin (8 July) and LBank (27 June). This expanded access to 75M $BLUM in liquidity pools.
What this means:
Listings improve price discovery and reduce slippage, critical for low-cap assets like Blum ($4.98M market cap). The 24h volume surged 12.6% to $7.24M, with turnover (volume/market cap) at 1.45 – indicating active trading relative to size.
What to look out for:
Sustained volume above $7M could help stabilize prices amid high circulating supply unlocks (30% of airdrops vested post-TGE).
3. Real-World Utility Progress (Bullish Impact)
Overview:
Blum’s July 2025 integration with AEON Pay allows $BLUM spending at 20M+ merchants (e.g., Starbucks, McDonald’s). This followed its June TGE, which emphasized token utility over speculation.
What this means:
Real-world use cases reduce reliance on speculative trading. The partnership aligns with Blum’s roadmap to become a “medium of exchange,” per CEO Gleb Kostarev. However, adoption metrics (e.g., payment volume) remain undisclosed.
What to look out for:
Q3 2025 plans for regulated payment channels and standalone apps could further validate utility.
Conclusion
Blum’s minor 24h gain reflects a mix of technical factors, improved liquidity, and incremental utility progress – though macro headwinds (50% monthly drop) and vesting unlocks persist. Key watch: Can AEON Pay usage data or Q3 product launches offset the 172M circulating supply’s sell pressure? Monitor Telegram ecosystem updates and burn mechanisms (next scheduled for 1 Oct 2025).
